The paper explores the twisted Rokhlin property in mapping class groups of surfaces.
problem Classifying surfaces whose mapping class groups have the twisted Rokhlin property.
method Generalizing the Rokhlin property to the twisted version, the authors classify surfaces based on their mapping class groups' properties.
result The mapping class groups of connected orientable infinite-type surfaces without boundaries have the twisted Rokhlin property, while those of other surfaces do not.
We prove that a dense subgroup of Homeo+(I) is not elementary amenable. We also show that the topological group Homeo+(I) does not satisfy the Stability of the Generators Property, moreover, any finitely generated subgroup of Homeo+(I) admits a faithful discrete representation …
In this paper we show that certain generalizations of the Cr-Whitney topology, which include the Hölder-Whitney and Sobolev-Whitney topologies on smooth manifolds, satisfy the Baire property, to wit, the countable intersection of open and dense sets is dense.
We show that the bounded Borel class of any dense representation $ρ: G\to \PSL_n\bC$ is non-zero in degree three bounded cohomology and has maximal semi-norm, for any discrete group G. When n=2, the Borel class is equal to the 3-dimensional hyperbolic volume class. Using tools from the theory of Kleinian groups, …
A pair of points (x,y) in a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is said to have the finite blocking property if there is a finite set P contained in M\{x,y} such that every geodesic segment from x to y passes through a point of P. We show that for every closed C-infinity manifold M of dimension at least two and every pair (x,y) …
The paper finds free semigroups in dense subgroups of Lie groups with critical exponents arbitrarily close to the subgroup's.
problem Finding free semigroups with critical exponents arbitrarily close to a subgroup's in dense subgroups of Lie groups.
method Analyzing Zariski dense discrete subgroups of Lie groups, showing the existence of free semigroups with critical exponents arbitrarily close to the subgroup's.
result The existence of free semigroups with critical exponents arbitrarily close to the subgroup's in dense subgroups of Lie groups.
We introduce and study the operation, called dense amalgam, which to any tuple X_1,...,X_k of non-empty compact metric spaces associates some disconnected perfect compact metric space, denoted ⊔(X1,...,Xk), in which there are many appropriately distributed copies of the spaces X_1,...,X_k. We then sh…
Bayesian networks are typically faithful, with implications for causal inference.
problem Determining the typicality of faithfulness in Bayesian networks.
method Analysis of Bayesian networks over a given DAG, parametrized by conditional exponential families, and nonparametric conditional densities.
result The faithful Bayesian networks are dense and open with respect to the total variation metric, extending existing results for specific classes of Bayesian networks.
In this paper we construct a properly embedded holomorphic disc in the unit ball B2 of C2 having a surprising combination of properties: on the one hand, it has finite area and hence is the zero set of a bounded holomorphic function on B2; on the other hand, its boundary curve is eve…
We study the regularity properties of the value function associated with an affine optimal control problem with quadratic cost plus a potential, for a fixed final time and initial point. Without assuming any condition on singular minimizers, we prove that the value function is continuous on an open and dense subset of …
We describe the "hyperbolic" properties of a riemann surface lamination M canonically associated to every compact three manifolds of curvature less than 1. More precisely, if the geodesic flow is the phase space attached to an ordinary differential equation, our space M is the "phase space" attached to a certain ellipt…
The square-peg problem is solved using configuration spaces and multijet transversality.
problem Proving that every simple closed curve in the plane has an odd number of inscribed squares.
method Using the multijet transversality theorem and configuration spaces, we find a dense set of smooth embeddings for which the configuration space of points is transverse to any submanifold.
result A dense family of smoothly embedded circles in the plane and in Rn have an odd number of inscribed square-like quadrilaterals.
We investigate some topological properties of a normal functor H introduced earlier by Radul which is some functorial compactification of the Hartman--Mycielski construction HM. We prove that the pair (HX, HMY) is homeomorphic to the pair (Q,σ) for each nondegenerated metrizable compactum X and each dense σ…
We discuss properties of the regular part Sreg of a subcartesian space S. We show that Sreg is open and dense in S and the restriction to Sreg of the tangent bundle of S is locally trivial.
Let M be a complete metric ANR-space such that for any metric compactum K the function space C(K,M) contains a dense set of Bing (resp., Krasinkiewicz) maps. It is shown that M has the following property: If f:X→Y is a perfect surjection between metric spaces, then C(X,M) with the source limitati…
A compact Polish foliated space is considered. Part of this work studies coarsely quasi-isometric invariants of leaves in some residual saturated subset when the foliated space is transitive. In fact, we also use "equi-" versions of this kind of invariants, which means that the definition is satisfied with the same con…
We survey the construction and properties of the Yamada polynomial of spatial graphs and present the Yamada polynomial formulae for some classes of graphs. Then we construct an infinite family of spatial graphs for which roots of Yamada polynomials are dense in the complex plane.
We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface group. Also, we obtain a characterization of those Lie groups which admit a dens…
We study the design of learning architectures for behavioural planning in a dense traffic setting. Such architectures should deal with a varying number of nearby vehicles, be invariant to the ordering chosen to describe them, while staying accurate and compact. We observe that the two most popular representations in th…
Improvements in the performance of deep neural networks have often come through the design of larger and more complex networks. As a result, fast memory is a significant limiting factor in our ability to improve network performance. One approach to overcoming this limit is the design of sparse neural networks, which ca…
We show that local deformations, near closed subsets, of solutions to open partial differential relations can be extended to global deformations, provided all but the highest derivatives stay constant along the subset. The applicability of this general result is illustrated by a number of examples, dealing with convex …
We prove that the Teichmueller disc stabilized by the Arnoux-Yoccoz pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism contains at least two closed Teichmueller geodesics. This proves that the corresponding flat surface does not have a cyclic Veech group. In addition, we prove that this Teichmueller disc is dense inside the hyperelliptic lo…
